I was surrounded by teasips screaming my head off for the Tide that game. They were definitely BCS Champs and National Champs that year. Fo sho.

And I guarantee you that the number of Alabama fans who support Updyke privately is far greater than the number of Alabama fans who support him publicly.

I don't know a single one. It's a black eye and embarrassment for UA. I said from the beginning UA Athletics should fund the transplant of full grown replacements as a gesture of good faith.

I do think many AU fans value the mileage they've gotten out of this story more than the trees themselves. Particularly the ones who continue to paper them while they are distressed.

Such a whiny gump argument.

Nothing says whiny like turning tail and running from UTx.

Just because the trees are distressed, that doesn't mean Auburn fans can't participate in their tradition. They trees are probably going to die anyway, why would they just let them sit in peace and not enjoy them in their final hours? It's just insecure to try and make it seem like Auburn fans are disrespecting the trees. Silly gump

---

I didn't say disrespecting. If I'm concerned about their survival, I wouldn't do anything to disturb them.

I guess I'm not surprised you find some solidarity with the Auburnites. Give them credit, though, they stand their ground.

They didn't take their toys, like a bitch, somewhere else to play.

No, you're not, but it is rather indicative of being more than an isolated event. Honestly, I don't have so much problem with that happening, because I understand getting drunk and having too much fun, but the abject arrogance that pours out of Tuscaloosa and the massive superiority complex that goes along with it is what creates a fringe minority that is that far out there.

There is nothing that can be done to save them, and throwing toilet paper isn't going to hurt them any more than they've already been hurt. I have thrown one roll of toilet paper into them since 2010, as a fond farewell, but I am grateful that my nieces and nephews, who did not have the opportunity before last season (oldest is 7), were able to join in the tradition before it is too late. There probably are Auburn fans who value the mileage more than the trees, but those are the same fans who jumped on the bandwagon because of Cam Newton, not the ones who grew up going to Toomer's Corner after every win.

That is a blatant lie. You may not realize that you know them, but unless you have lived in the UK your entire life, you know some of them.

Which is the entire reason that fans cover their true feelings.

Look, I believe you when you say that you don't and have never thought it was anything but a horrible occurrence, but don't act as if Alabama fans are above wishing that sort of ill on the "cow college" that Bear Bryant would have rather beaten than win the national championship.

When Does The Alabama Dynasty End?

I don't know but it's probably gonna suck if we ever do win.

Dynasty = sustained success over a long period of time, including multiple conference and national titles.

Since Bama resurfaced in 2008, they have 1 conference title, 2 national titles, gone 3-1 in bowls, and 48-6 overall. That's a dominant run. But I think you need more hardware for it to count as a dynasty. Win one more natty title and one more conference title in the next 2 years, and I say Dynasty.

Another thing people need to stop doing is comparing college dynasties to professional sports dynasties. It's a different playing field with different rules.

Note: I wouldn't mind calling that run a Dynasty because it means that UF 2006-2009 was a Dynasty that went 48-7, with 2 natty titles, 2 SEC titles and 3-1 in bowls including 3-0 in BCS bowls.

But that was mostly courtesy of the 2006 recruiting class. One Class a dynasty does not make.

Lol so if one year a system is put in a scenario where it can't reasonably determine a National Champ, that somehow invalidates the years where it did reasonably determine one? This year was the most unique, and exposed the flaws of the BCS, that doesn't mean it didn't determine a champion in years where subjective metrics couldn't overcome objective results.

Just because you get one defective part off the assembly line, you don't have to recall the whole product line. You just don't give the defective parts a seal of approval and destroy them before getting to market.

I mean even if you don't agree with my stance, you don't have to act like a baby about it.

---

I don't agree with your opinion because it's stupid and illogical. When you have 120+ teams in a division and no playoff EVERY year contains MASSIVE subjectivity. You think it was fair for #2 and undefeated Utah to not get a shot in 2008? What about TCU a couple years later? AU in 2004? The list goes on and on. There never was and never will be a completely objective way to determine a champion in football unless we expand to a huge playoff, which won't happen. So your whole issue with last year is asinine because it happens on some level EVERY year. Someone who may have been the best didn't get their shot. That's reality...and that's why it's good to be one of the royal bloods of college football where our name and tradition counts for something, unlike your 2nd tier program which Bama will skull-drag all over the field in a few months just to remind you of your pecking order in the college football world.
